Tips for Choosing Green Christmas Nails
- There are many shades of green and not all of them will work for a festive design – generally, stay away from light grass tones which are more associated with spring
- If you want to do your own nails at home, you can keep it simple and opt for an ombre look. All you need is a few shades of green color, and paint each nail in a different shade. Mix in a few gold tones if you want to update your look following the Christmas season.
- If you would like to include some nail art, a lot of the Christmas elements like snowflakes can be purchased online as stickers that you just apply to your nails, instead of painting them from scratch
- To make your nails a bit more fresh and interesting, try mixing your nail design with some neutral tones or festive gold touches
- Lastly, remember that any nail color looks the best on healthy well-manicured nails!
